Since i have the only other Humber Mk4 in the US, I am pleased that the sale price sets some kind of data-point for the vehicle worth (not that I have any intention of selling!) But to see a whole Churchill go for a third of an armoured car???

Jim,

Like Chris said, these (or any other) auction results are not the norm for setting values. All it really says that last Saturday there was one guy willing to pay 106k for that particular Humber, and another guy willing to pay 34k for that particular Churchill. Next auction/sale it could be the other way round, one cannot really tell or deduct and average value from these results. That only works when a statistically relevant number of vehicles are assessed against recorded sales prices and condition.
